Cycling: For Fun and Fitness

Aerobic fitness has many benefits.

Excellent health is based upon aerobic strength, flexibility and aerobic fitness. All of these factors are crucial. For healthy heart, any type of aerobic workout is excellent. Normally, this requires motion that is continued over a period of time which utilises the power of your arms and legs. This type of exercise makes your heart work harder.
